Unable to open PDF attachment in Outlook email in Release 24.xxx.xxxx

[peterd30743036]

Adobe Commuity thank you for reading.  I can use your collective assistance with this issue.
We utilize Office 365 Enterprise along with Acrobat Reader DC. Initially, we were using AcroRdrDC2300820555_en_US.exe. However, when AcroRdrDC2400120604_en_US.exe was released, our users encountered difficulties opening PDF email attachments by double-clicking the PDF within the email. Despite waiting for the subsequent release, AcroRdrDC2400120643_en_US.exe, the issue persisted. Ultimately, we reverted to AcroRdrDC2300820555_en_US.exe, and the problem no longer occurs.
With Reader 24 - Double click the pdf attachment in the email. Acrobat reader opens freezes and then after a while it crashes.
With Reader 23 - Double click the pdf attachment in the email. Acrobat reader opens and pdf opens.

Is anyone else seeing this?  The PDF will open all the time if the attachment is saved to my home drive or desktop.

Good Morning all, 
Another Engineer took at look at this and disabled our Profile Management software and Reader worked for version 24.x
So now that group is looking at the changes they need, so our users will be happy again.

Thanks all for reading and the input provided.

Hi peter,

i have similar problems for 6 weeks now. Citrix VDI Environment, we use FSLlogix for our profile management. Constant crashes with Event ID 1000 in the Event Viewer, same error message as yours.

you said that you "disabled" the profile management software? how? disabling fslogix would result in a ton of other issues and problems. so what exactly did you do?

We use Ivanti for User Personalization.  I was told they removed/excluded Adobe Reader from personalization.
